Prilutsky Lab
Educational Experience:
PhD in Physiology from Latvian Research Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics, Riga, Latvia and Central Institute of Physical Culture, Moscow, Russia, 1991, BS in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics from Moscow Institute of Electronics and Mathematics, Russia, 1987, BS in Physical Education from Central Institute of Physical Culture, Moscow, Russia
Research Interests:
Neural control and biomechanics of movement; spinal and supraspinal control of locomotion; peripheral nerve and spinal cord injury; bone-anchored limb prostheses with neural interface; neuromechanical modelling and computer simulations
Overview:
The major research focus of the laboratory is Neural Control and Biomechanics of Movement. We study how the nervous system controls hundreds of muscles and kinematic degrees of freedom of the body to produce purposeful motor behaviors and how the neural control of motor behaviors is affected by neural and musculoskeletal injuries.
